Mount Joy - Florin Youth Council
Will Sponsor Community Service
The Mount Joy-Florin Youth
Council is sponsoring a Com-
munity Service at 7:30 P. M.
Sunday evening, Feb. 5, in the
Evangelical U. B. Church, Mt.
Joy. The theme will be “Our
Citizenship Under Christ.” All
are invited to attend. After the
service there will be a social
period for the youth of the par-
ticipating communities.
The year 1956 marks the
thirteenth annual observance of
Youth Week, Jan. 29 thru Feb.
5, as sponsored by the United
Christian Youth Movement.
Through the 1956 theme “Our
Ciiizenship Under Christ,” ev-
eryone is challenged to discov-
er his responsibilities as a
Christian citizen.
The purpose of Youth Week
are.
1. To strengthen the unity of
Christian youth across the coun-
try.
12. To develop in youth the
awareness of their responsibili-
ties to the church.
3. To explore Christian con-
cepts of citizenship as they re-
late to all phases of life,
4. To relate the Christian
gospel to the major issues in
our nation and world today.
The local Youth Council has
suggested that on the first Sun-
day of Youth Week the young
people take part in denomina-
tional services. The Community
Service on the last Sunday of,
Youth Week will have interde-!
nominational cooperation. Thru!
these two ways the Youth
Council wishes to encourage
and promote a successful Youth
Week. There can be a success-|

The Youth Council would ap-

take special notice of the Youth
Week displays in many of the
windows of the merchants in
the communities.
